I hope Cormier beats Jones to a pulp.

We need to have some sort of wager on this.

[nate]

Oh I fully expect Jones to win but I hope he doesn't.

It's an interesting choice because they're both dicks in their own way.  Of course, Jones is more dick-ish for what he did; Cormier is just a mouthy dick.  I don't like Cormier because no matter how I bet on him, he does the opposite.  He's probably gonna win just because I expect him to get beat down.

[nate]

Lol.

He goes on Kevin and Bean before every fight and he is very charismatic in his interviews so I like him.

Going to visit my dad and watch it at his place.  As a bonus, I get political arguments!

you should have some nice new FBI conspiracy theories to discuss. Enjoy!

Might as well start this and see if the other two or so join and see how it goes.

Thursday:

Don't care about the fights but obv. have Dos Anjos

Friday:

The wild card here is they are going to surprise two fights on the main. I have Pearson in one and I have the Polish chick over the chick with the mole on her face

Saturday:

Here is where shit gets crazy as literally every fight is good.

Fight Pass: Gomi, Mousasi, Sanchez (what happened to this dude?)

Prelims: Sage, Dillashaw, Hendricks (wouldn't be the least surprised if Gastelum wins), I'll take Cat in the women's

Main: I think I always over like Cain, can go either way but have Velasquez, taking Frankie in the revenge/chip on the shoulder, Tate, Lesnar, Jones

 

The thing is Cormier needs to win or he's done as a legit competitor. Jones didn't look good last fight. We will see.

Jessie Spano excited for this weekend. Press conference currently going on.

 

 

[Richard]

Brocks odds are currently +145. Might be a good time to jump in. 

[nate]

Wow, this is huge.  Just ban this douchebag for life and get it over with.  Sucks for DC.

 

[Lou]

lol what a shit show 

[Lou]

I guess we know why he hadn't lifted a single weight 

[nate]

In the presser Dana looked like someone died.  Can't imagine how much money they lose because of this.

@Glendoes this mean I win the bet I didn't take on?

[Richard]

2 year suspension possibly and missing the biggest pay day of his career. Jon jones is an idiot.

[nate]

I would say he was already an idiot when he got drunk/high and drove his car into a pregnant ladies car then bailed on foot.  Dude should honestly be in jail still.

[Brandon]

Easy fix.

 

Conor McGregor vs. Tank Abbott

[Richard]

Dana saying DC will fight this weekend. Few people are reporting that Anderson silva is being considered. One roider replaces the other. Saw bisping is also throwing his name in.

[nate]

Silva posted this on his Twitter just now... isn't Silva just now coming off a doping suspension?

[nate]

It is official.

 

[Brandon]

What a weird ass replacement.

lol@ Lesnar being the headline for a minute before they made Tate the headline. 

[nate]

Not a weird replacement at all.  Silva is big $ for PPV.  Not a title fight and only 3 rounds.  Silva is pretty much done so he gets beat up by DC and still makes a ton of $, so does DC and the UFC.

Different weight classes and because of Silva's age, the Nevada Athletic Commission requires him to go through essentially a full blown medical and testing before granting him a license to fight. It takes a while to get, but somehow it was granted within 24 hours.

But yeah, Silva is done which is another reason I said it. But you gotta do what you gotta do under the gun to make a fight within 48 hours.

Just weird, I think it's a catch weight fight. I still think they should have promoted Moussai to fight Cormier and find a replacement for Santos. But money talks and having to scramble from McGregor to now Jones, I'm surprised they didn't find a way to get GSP in the mix to sell tix and buys last minute.

Wild shit dude.

Watched the video this morning, pretty wild. Fuck man, I just checked and saw RDA was -400....crazy upset. Seriously, it needs to go like this:

1. Bet dog

2. Watch fight

3. Profit

4. Repeat

The gains from all the dogs are going to be a huge ROI lift annually.

[Brandon]

Joanna is such a badass. She weathered the storm initially and the other chick is gassed. 99% certain she's going to get the decision in 4 minutes.
